Chapter 24: The Clan Competition
The sun slowly passed through the clouds, revealing her already swollen and flushed face, like a curious little girl, looking at the earth.
Today is the eldest son of the Wu clan, and the triennial clan competition has officially kicked off.
Clan competitions are held in the clan arena. The arena was built on the edge of the family, and in the middle of it were two rings more than ten meters apart, which were made of the finest black sรจ solid stone. One ring is nearly 100 square meters, giving the contestants plenty of room to move. There was nothing blocking around the ring.
Surrounding the two rings is a viewing seat that is one floor above the other. At this time, in the huge arena, colorful flags are all over the place, the seats are full, the voices are boiling, and the noise is abnormal. All the men in the clan put down their affairs and came to watch this rare event.
In the crowd watching the battle, not only the people of the Wu clan, but also the three surrounding clans were invited to watch, which was also to show them the strength of the younger generation of their clan, and then achieve the purpose of deterrence. At this time, the people of these families have not yet arrived.
The clan competition is for clan children under the age of 19, both men and women.
The clan is divided into two groups, with the two people with the highest family voices being separated in the two groups first, and the rest are divided by lot.
At present, the two people with the highest voices in the Wu clan are Wu Liang and Wu Resentment, who have already agreed on the battle of the clan, so they will first separate the two in two groups.
Today, Wu Yan and the fat man got up early as usual, and did not delay every ri's cultivation. After the two came back and changed into clean clothes, they prepared to go to the long-awaited competition venue.
"Wu Yan, are you ready?" the fat man asked with a serious face.
"No problem!" Wu Yan clenched his fists and said confidently.
"Let's go!" Wu Yan continued.
Walking on the street, the two found that the usually lively street market was all closed, and they didn't know that they thought they had come to an empty sect. Occasionally, I saw a few people running towards the arena in a hurry, striving to occupy a good position.
"Wu Yan, I'm looking for you!" As soon as he walked a short distance, he saw Wu Xia, the daughter of the patriarch, hurriedly running over and saying to him.
"What's the matter with Sister Wu Xia?" Wu Yan said curiously. Wu Xia is 18 years old this year, and her bumpy figure has really become a big girl, and she will participate in the clan competition today.
"Wu resentment, do you really want to fight Wu Liang?" Wu Xia said with concern.
"Of course, what he owed our brother back then, he must get it back in front of everyone today!" Wu said solemnly.
"I just heard the elder say that Wu Liang has now reached the eighth layer of Yuan Qi and has opened up more than three hundred meridians, Wu resents that you can't beat him, so don't challenge him!" Wu Xia said.
This morning, when the patriarch asked the Great Elder about Wu Liang's situation, he happened to let Wu Xia hear it, so he hurriedly ran over to tell Wu Xian.
"How is that possible!" exclaimed the fat man.
"It's what I've heard with my own ears, and it's still fake. Wu Xia replied.
"It was a challenge I launched back then, and I must not back down! I must fight!" Wu Yan was also a little surprised when he heard Wu Liang's current situation, and he was even faster than he had risen. But this battle is unavoidable, otherwise he will have no shame to face all the people of the clan.
"Why are you so stubborn, if you really want to fight against Wu Liang, he will definitely make a dead move, you don't understand!" Wu Xia really cared about Wu Liang and didn't want him to be hurt.
"Sister Wu Xia doesn't need to say any more, I'm definitely going to go!" Wu Yan said firmly.
"Oh, I knew it didn't make sense for you. These are a few Qi Replenishing Pills, which can be used when it is critical. Wu Xia saw that she couldn't convince Wu Yan, so she immediately took out a few pills from the patriarch and handed them to Wu Yan.
"Thank you, Sister Wu Xia!" Wu said sincerely.
"Let's go! In addition to our sect who came to watch this time, Abba also invited people from the three surrounding sects to come over, and I will introduce you to you in a moment. Wu Xia said.
When the three of them came to the arena, they saw that the people inside were gathering more and more, and those who did not have seats moved a stool to sit down, and then they didn't even have a place to put a stool, so they simply stood.
Wu Xia could have sat with the patriarch, but she didn't want to be there and felt uncomfortable. It's still more ziyou with everyone, and this will be crowded in the crowd with Wu Yan.
"Quiet!" each year the clan competition is presided over by the little elder. At this time, the little elder roared with Yuan Force, which instantly overshadowed the noise of the scene, shaking people's brains.
"Today is the eldest son of my clan's competition, and the patriarch specially invited the three surrounding clans to come and watch the battle, everyone is welcome!" the little elder said.
As the Little Elder's words fell, the Great Elder led the more than twenty people who walked in from the outside and walked straight to the empty seats specially set aside on the high platform. There was a round of applause.
"At the forefront is the Great Elder of the Hu Clan, who has a good relationship with my clan. Wu Xia said in a low voice. The old man was extremely tall, smiling and waving to the people below.
"Followed by Hu Tianyou, the champion of the Hu clan's clan competition, is a cultivation idiot, he seems to be almost at the ninth layer of vitality!" Seeing that following the Great Elder was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, with no expression on his delicate face, as if this crowd of people did not have the slightest influence on him.
"The person with an indifferent face after that is the Great Elder of the Xu Clan. This clan has always been not at odds with my clan," Wu Xia said with a frown.
"The somewhat arrogant young man behind him is also the champion of the clan comparison, and he is also the son of the patriarch of the Xu clan called Xu Aotian, who is extremely talented, and has reached the ninth layer of vitality, and has the highest vitality cultivation among the younger generations of our sects, but people are particularly annoying. Wu Xia said in disgust.
"Which clan is behind?" Wu Yan looked at the few people behind him and said curiously.
"That one is from the Tian clan, attached to the Xu clan, followed by Tian Mingyi, the son of their patriarch, who doesn't learn or know, just bullying the little girl in the sect. Wu Xia said disdainfully.
Wu Yan looked at it from a distance, this kid did look very obscene, with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, staring at the girl in the crowd and glancing around.
"Great Elder Wu, I heard that Ling Sun will also participate in this competition?" asked Elder Tian, who had a good relationship with the Wu clan.
"Xiao Sun is 18 years old this year, and he just happened to participate, and I hope Elder Tian will correct him a lot!" the Great Elder replied.
"You're welcome, how dare you have your Elder Wu here!" Elder Tian said with a smile.
"Elders, please take a seat, and the contest will begin immediately. The Great Elder of the Wu Clan arched his hand to the patriarch who was sitting on the throne.
"This competition was held in two days, today is the group competition, tomorrow is the finals, the competition is divided into two groups at the same time. One group is group A, in which Wu Liang is divided, and one group is group B, in which Wu resentment is divided. In addition to these two people, other people who want to participate in the competition come to draw lots in batches. The little elder was standing in the ring, and the boxes next to him were full of signs.
The younger generation began to line up to draw lots, praying not to draw Group A, and if they met Wu Liang, they would be broken, not only would they fail but also be beaten badly.
The fat man and Wu Xia also went up to draw lots. After coming back, the fat man looked at the sign with a letter written on it in his hand and said with a worried face: "Wu resentment, I have drawn a group with Wu Liang." โ
"Have faith in the fat man!" Wu Yan said angrily.
"Sister Wu Xia, which group are you in?" Wu Yan said with concern.
"With you, you have to be careful, Sister Wu Xia will not be polite to you. Wu Xia raised her pink fist and frightened.
"Sister Wu Xia, just let the horse come!" Wu said boldly.
Although Wu Yan had already given Wu Liang a challenge, in order to avoid too much difference in the skills of the two sides, the clan still divided the two into two groups, so that unless both sides got the top two in their respective groups, they could meet in the Ming Ri finals.
At this time, the little elder stood on the platform and shouted loudly: "Young sons and daughters of my sect, you are the pride of my sect, show the demeanor of my sect, and look forward to your performance! Now the Wu clan competition has officially begun!"
After everyone had cleared the ring, the little elder continued:
"The two who draw the first one go to the left ring to prepare, and the two who draw the second one go to the right ring to take their places. โ
Wu Liang and Wu Yan stood up and stepped into the two rings respectively, the two of them faced each other across the stage, and an invisible murderous aura came out from both sides.
"Prepare to face your opponent in the ring!" the little elder reminded him when he saw that the smell of gunpowder was too strong for the two of them.
Wu Yan was facing a boy named Wu Hong with about five layers of vitality, and he was much worse than a fat man.
Wu Hong didn't know about Wu Yan's situation now, but he had only heard some things about him. But hearing and seeing are two different things. He still has some confidence in himself, and he can be regarded as an upper-middle class among the younger generation of the family.
Wu Liang was also facing an almost five-layer Yuan force, but that person was terrified since he knew that the opponent was Wu Liang, and his legs and feet were a little weak before he even started.
"The competition begins!" The little elder ordered.
Hearing the beginning, Wu Hong took the first step to activate his vitality, ready to attack first, he learned the Earth Splitting Palm, which belongs to the family's Yellow Rank Intermediate Technique, and he usually practices the Palm Technique I don't know how many trees he has broken. So I have a lot of confidence in my palm.
"Wu Yan, take me and try it!" shouted to Wu Yan while his body was activated.
Wu Yan felt that Wu Hong's vitality fluctuations were far inferior to his own, so he stood in place and did not move, using part of his Yuan Force, using the Taiyue Fist during cultivation, and punched it in the direction of Wu Hong's attack.
Wu Hong couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that Wu Yan was still using the Yellow Rank Primary Taiyue Fist, which was one level lower than his own exercises: "You're finished!"
As soon as the words fell, the two fists collided together. Wu Hong's fist knew that he was wrong after coming into contact with Wu Yan, and Wu Hong's surging vitality instantly knocked Wu Hong's body flying, crossed more than ten meters, and fell directly under the ring.
The scene resounded with enthusiastic cheers.
"It's too domineering, standing still, knocking the attacker out of the ring with one punch, Wu resents what a good way!" someone in the audience shouted.
Wu Yan once again proved that he was no longer the family's cultivation wastewood.
Wu Liang next to him heard the shouts at the scene, looked back, and found that Wu Yan had already won. couldn't help but feel a little annoyed that Wu Yan had stolen his limelight, turned his head and glared at his opponent, ready to take it down quickly.
Just as he was preparing to attack, the opposing player suddenly shouted, "I admit defeat!" and turned and jumped out of the ring. Just now he saw Wu Liang's angry eyes after turning his head, and he didn't want to be a punching bag.
"Shh......h
The little elder shouted: "Group A Wu Liang wins, Group B Wu resents wins." โ
Occasionally, small saffron flowers
